Wanted to say hi to everyone, just downloaded this game last night. Really enjoying it! I used to play some of the old mech games of the 90s and have really missed this. I do have one question. Since this is a beta will the mechs and equipment be lost when the game offically comes out? A

See ya on the grid

Welcome to MWO! Glad you're having a blast.

I hear that there will be no more account resets so you won't lose what mechs you have.

Welcome!

And there will be no more resets. The last one happened when the game went from closed to open beta.
Everything you earn/buy you can keep forever.

good to hear. Another question on factions? Do they mean anything at this point?

[WC Angelo]

At this point, they have no effect on the game but will be central when Community Warfare rolls in.

Until then, the different Houses and Merc groups are starting to get organized. Most are recruiting.

Note that your performance will skyrocket when you play with a team! It's a team game afterall, and being out of communications is just as bad as a real-life comms blackout situation...devastating.

I can see that. Need to find a clan but i want to get a few mechs first. I just got an atlas at the moment. It sucks being at the bottom with one mech but i have been browsing the clans a little. I play a lot and lov clan/company battles in other games.

Not all the clans are listed here! Some, like the Iron Sharks, are founded around or inside of different venues.

Check out the Teamspeak listings. nogutsnogalaxy.net has a server named Outreach, that my Iron Sharks call home.

Cool - Ps; Don't let only having one mech put you off, more important than having lots of pretend gear (that will come naturally, and you earn very quickly in this game) is having the right attitude, and finding a bunch of guys you enjoy chilling with.

Most units have a channel in the community (comstar) TS3 servers, either the US or Euro one, so just ask dudes if they have room for you to drop for a match or two & see how it goes before you start worrying about who to join up with.

Welcome to the game mate, GL & HF.
